Iran would not dare to pull this if we had a strong leader in office like Trump. Iran sees us as the rest of the world does with Biden in office, weak. They have been emboldened by Biden and all of his pandering. So on top of lying about creating a new nuclear deal, they are now demanding that America put Trump on trial over the successful elimination of terrorist Solemani.
“Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi vowed revenge against Donald Trump unless the former US president is tried over the killing of Qassem Soleimani, as Tehran marked two years since the revered commander’s death.
The Islamic Republic and its allies across the Middle East held emotional commemorations for General Soleimani and his Iraqi lieutenant who were assassinated in a US drone strike at Baghdad airport on January 3, 2020.
Tehran’s enemies were targeted on the day of the anniversary in unclaimed drone and cyber attacks — with two armed unmanned aerial vehicles intercepted by the US-led coalition in Iraq over Baghdad airport, and hackers attacking Israeli media sites.
Soleimani headed the Quds Force, the foreign operations arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, with links to armed groups in Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza Strip, Syria and Yemen. The Quds force is designated by a number of countries as a terrorist organization, including the US and Israel.
Raisi, addressing Tehran’s largest prayer hall, said: “The aggressor and the main assassin, the then president of the United States, must face justice and retribution” alongside former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo “and other criminals.
Trump — under whom tensions over Iran’s nuclear program escalated, leading to a new and painful sanctions regime on Tehran — ordered the assassination, which brought the enemies to the brink of a direct military confrontation.
Washington said at the time that Soleimani was planning imminent action against US personnel in Iraq, a war-battered country long torn between principal allies Washington and Tehran.”
“Iran responded days later by firing missiles at bases hosting US troops in Iraq. No one was killed but Washington said dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries.
Amid the heightened tensions Iran also accidentally downed a Ukrainian passenger jet on January 8, 2020, killing all 176 people aboard.”
Why would we put Trump on trial for a job well done? When a leader takes out a terrorist you praise them, you don’t put them on trial. I bet Iran will try to use this as an excuse for why they are refusing to come to the table for a new nuclear deal. But in reality, they have no intention of shutting down their nuclear program and Israel is going to have to act to stop them before it’s too late.
